The Wrong PARTY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-Editor Sarannah
Morning Ne,cs:: A few weeks ago received
in my mail letter from your city, appar-
emily addressed to me. Upon opening it,
however, l found that it was for another
party bearing my name, and closer in
spection of the envelope showed that the
initials differed slightly, L consulted our
city directory and made inquiries, but could
not find the owner | laid the letter aside,
and it was forgotten in the rush of business.
A few days ago ! opened another letter, and
discovered that it was from the same party,
to my unknown namesake.
There was no name signed to the letters,
so that l am unable to return them to the
writer, and from the tenor of the last letter
there is likely to be a rupture of friendship
if this matter is not attended to. / have
done all in my power TO find the party to

If you could insert this letter in your paper
it may catch the eye of the writer, who will
recognize the name signed and thus claim

pie of Israel for sins committed during the

of the faithful will partake of food between
sunset this evening and the same hour to-
morrow. Yum Kippur is the great fast
day of the year, and its observance by the
Hebrews is rigid. There will be special SER
vices in the synagogue, adapted in character
TO the day. According to the Jewish calendar
this is the 10th day of the month Tishri.
During this month come all the great feasts
and fasts of the Jewish year The first is
Rosch Hashanna, or new years, the day
upon which God judges Israel; on the 10th

sentence, and on the 9TH Tabernacle or the

Railway and Locomotive Building.

During the last thirteen years the United
States has doubled its railroad mileage,
while in twenty years it tripled the iron
roadways of 1867 That record is nothing
more than a fair evidence of American
growth and progress generally. The United
States also beats the world in locomotive
building, not only in the number turned out
from shops, but also in the running and
wearing character of the machines As an
evidence of this it may be stated that this
country not only supplies large number of
engines required for the constantly increas-
ing extent of our railroads, but furnishes
a large number of locomotives for foreign
countries. There were fifty-four locomo-
tives exported from the United States dur
ing the eleven months ending with last May
compared with fifty-one during the CORES
ponding period of the preceding fiscal year.
During the same period car wheels were ex-
ported to the number Of l2,24S and 9,379 re-
spectively.

GENUINE TEXAS cAMELs.
Novel Exhibition to be Made at the
Texas State and Dallas Exposition.
From The Galveston Neics.

From the Galveston Neics.
In order that the Texas State Fair and
Dallas Exposition may be complete in every
particular, the association has concluded to
bring from the West a number of Texas
camels, which they will place among the
products of Texas. 1t is not generally
known that there are camels, both wild and
domestic, in Texas, but it is nevertheless
fact. Texas is a great State, and has a
little of everything.
A reporter yesterday called upon Maj.
John Henry Brown in quest of information
in regard to the history of Texas camels.
Maj. Brown says that they were brought to
Texas by the Federal government in 1852
for the purpose of testing the feasibility of
using them III crossing the great American
desert and the dry region between here
and California Several Arabian canvass
ers came along with the camelS for the
purpose of instIucting the Americans in
their art of handling the animals These
Arabs remained in the employ of the gov
nrnment for the space of two years, and
when they left it was believed that the
camels were success as means of travel
ing in the dry region, and it was also be-
lieved the animals would retain their vigor
and health of their native country The
government then proceeded to breed them
at Camp Verde, a military post in Kerr
county, and they multiplied and replen-
ished with great rapidity. When the war
came on the camels of course fell into the
hands of the Southern Confederacy, which
had control of them until the
close of the struggle at which time
Maj. Brown says there were seventy
six camels at Camp Verde ranging
in age from / year upward. But all the
carnels were not concentrated at Camp
Verde. They had scattered during the war,
and some of them were in use in Arizona,
while others had wandered from the settle
ments and gone wild. Very little attention
was given to the camels or to communica-
ton by means of them with California dur
ing the war, and by the time the Federal
government got Texas reconstructed and
ready to resume the caravan business across
the plains, the railroads were solving the
problem for which the camels were being
bred, and the ships of the desert were heard
OF no more as factor in the commerce of
America.
The propriety of running the camels at
Camp Verde into Mexico was discussed by
some of the Texans who sought refuge in
that republic at the close of the war, but
the matter ended in discussion.
Maj Brown says he had not kept run of
the camels of late years, but he is certain
that there are still quite q number of them,
both wild and tame

BIBLES FOR THE PEOPLE.
Work of the American Bible Society il
Savannah.


Savannah.
The American Bible Society is actively at
work in Savannah. During the first five
months of the year, or rather beginning
with last December, its local agent, Rev. j.
F. Brundage, visited 6.s4S families in the
city, and placed altogether very nearly 900
Bibles in homes where there were none.
OF the 5000 and more families visited
] 100 were without the Bible, and the heads
of 352 families could not read even if they
had one. In many of these homes though,
Bibles were placed in the hands of the
children. During June, July and Au-
gust no work was done, but
canvass of the city is now being made Mr..
Brundage has personally canvassed the dis
tricts west Of Wst Broad street, east of
Feast Broad a1+ 4 gtltiod of the district
between Bay an. l. <'s, Broad streets. He
has been most successful in his work so
far and he expects to canvass the entire city
during the next six months. His duties are
most arduous, but the results which he has
accomplished are an evidence of the faith
full and efficient service he has rendered. The
work is carried on under the general
direction of the State Superintendent of the
society. Rev. H. P. Myers, formerly of this
city. The general repository of the So
ciety for Savannah is at the Young Mems
Christian Association rooms.
Mr.. Brundage, in his report for the past
-four months of the year gives in connection
with his December report the following
